ip igmp max-groups

ip igmp max-groups

Use the ip igmp max-groups interface configuration command on the switch stack or on a standalone
switch to set the maximum number of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups that a
Layer 2 interface can join or to configure the IGMP throttling action when the maximum number of
entries is in the forwarding table. Use the no form of this command to set the maximum back to the
default, which is to have no maximum limit, or to return to the default throttling action, which is to drop
the report.

ip igmp max-groups {number | action {deny | replace}}

no ip igmp max-groups {number | action}

Syntax Description

Defaults

The default maximum number of groups is no limit.

After the switch learns the maximum number of IGMP group entries on an interface, the default
throttling action is to drop the next IGMP report that the interface receives and to not add an entry for
the IGMP group to the interface.
